My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 643 The Wrath of the Nation and Zhao Ji's Final Ending (8)

Wang Lin smiled calmly: "There is no need to say more, come here, invite Princess Dekang back, and let her be at her own disposal."

Jin Yiwei stepped forward and escorted Dekang back.

Whether it's poisonous wine or Bai Ling, they are all waiting for her.

Wang Lin thought that she was a generation of women, and also the elder of Zhao Fujin and other women, and for Li Gang's sake, he gave her a face.

As for these people who belonged to the Shi family, none of them can stay.

Zhao Xuan and the others were terrified, under the power of the emperor, they didn't even dare to ask for mercy—in fact, I thought in my heart that such a serious crime would make it impossible to survive.

"Bring my Heavenly Son Sword!"

Yan Qing was startled, guessed what the emperor was going to do, but didn't dare to stop him, and presented Wang Lin's sword respectfully.

Without talking nonsense, Wang Lin drew his sword out of its sheath instantly.

The sword's edge shone coldly in the sun, and the spring breeze was blowing on his face. Wang Lin's face was cold and stern, and he swung the sword in his hand without any hesitation.

Zhao Xuan's head was chopped off, bleeding profusely.

Wang Lin raised his sword and turned around, his expression as indifferent as ice: "Kill, kill without mercy!"

……

The 36 members of the Zhao clan who participated in the conspiracy, headed by Zhao Xuan, were beheaded on the spot by Jin Yiwei. Zhengfa was on the Luoyang city tower, and one blood flowed like a river.The rest of the family members were exiled for three thousand miles.

The remaining hundreds or thousands of members of Zhao’s direct clan in Luoyang were innocent, but they were ordered to relocate their entire family. Thirty percent went overseas to Ryukyu, thirty percent went to the New City of the Western Regions, and thirty percent went to Vientiane in the southwest.

Wang Lin was already too lazy to arrange for him properly.

Although he didn't kill these people, he let them stay away from the Central Plains and go to the wilderness outside the Great Wall to find a way out by themselves, so as not to make troubles and create some troubles.

Dekang commits suicide, and Zhao Xie goes to Yanjing to apologize.

Since then, the chaos in Luoyang has been settled.

……

Yanjing.

Inside the political hall.

Li Gang and others were anxious and restless.

One is that the emperor suddenly left without saying goodbye, leaving only a secret letter to Li Gang. When Li Gang received the secret letter, the emperor had long since disappeared.

The second is that the news of the Zhao family's rebellion in Luoyang has been spread in Yanjing and the court, and all kinds of discussions are boiling, and the court has become a mess.

Whether to send troops to encircle and suppress, how to deal with it, and the flood of attacks and impeachments against Zhao's clan by officials and admonishers from the court... All these things have to wait for the emperor to make a decision, but the emperor is not in Yanjing.

If the news leaks out, the DPRK and China will definitely blow up the pot.

Of course, Wu Min and the others couldn't hide these things from others, the five courts had no choice but to prevaricate the courtiers on the grounds that the emperor was caught in the cold and needed to rest in the palace, and the court meeting was over.

But the fact that the emperor left Beijing to Luoyang to quell the rebellion in person will not be kept secret for long.

Li Gang said worriedly: "Your Majesty's visit is really..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a clear voice from outside the hall: "Don't worry, I'm here."

The emperor walked slowly into the political affairs hall in a car, and Li Gang and others were overjoyed and fell to the ground one after another.

Wang Lin knew what these cabinet ministers were going to advise next, so he waved his hands and said in a deep voice: "Okay, dear friends, the matter in Luoyang is over, don't mention it again, just pretend that I have never left, understand? ?”

Li Gangcang shook his head slightly, speechless.

Facing such an emperor who is elusive, never plays cards according to common sense, and acts arbitrarily, as the prime minister of the cabinet, what else can he say?

Wu Min, Huang Qishan, Zong Ze, and Guo Zhishun also took a deep breath, and silently retreated to the sides to stand.

Sitting upright in the hall, Wang Lin said with a smile, "I haven't been there for a few days this time, so you don't have to worry. I'm here, and I need to discuss something with you."

"The Zhao Clan's clan in Luoyang rebelled, and the leader is Shi Yucheng, the son of Princess Dekang." As soon as Wang Lin said this, Li Gang's expression changed suddenly.

Dekang and the Shi family are his in-laws of the Li family.

Dekang's daughter Shi Xiaohui is also his daughter-in-law and Li Zongzhi's official wife.

"Currently, Shi Yucheng is at large. However, I have ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest him, and I believe he will be on the case soon. Dozens of people involved in the case, including Zhao Xuan, have been ordered to be executed on the spot. Dekang committed suicide in fear of crime. As for the eighth son of the former Song Emperor Zhao Fen was coerced into treason, and his crime is forgiven. I ordered people to escort him to Beijing, where he will be dealt with by the court's three justices according to law.

For many other disposals, Jin Yiwei will report in detail in the next step, so I won't repeat them. "

The emperor lightly reported the incident in Luoyang, and the expressions of Li Gang and five people in the political affairs hall were all shocked.

Especially Li Gang, his face was pale, and he slowly prostrated himself on the ground: "The old minister is guilty, the old minister's in-laws are involved in the case of treason, and the old minister knows that he cannot escape the blame..."

Before Li Gang wanted to beg for the bones, he was interrupted by Wang Linsheng: "Okay, Mr. Li, after the investigation by Jin Yiwei, this matter has nothing to do with you. Dekang girl is not involved in the case, and I will not implicate innocent people. You Just appease your family members.

Don't think too much about it.I have come here to discuss with you how to deal with Emperor Song Zhao Ji, by the way, Zhao Ji is already on his way to Yanjing. "

Li Gang fell silent.

Although he was grateful for the emperor's magnanimity and trustworthiness, but after all, he was an in-law of the Shi family and was inextricably linked to the culprit of the case, so he had to avoid the case.

In fact, even if the emperor does not blame or implicate him, next, Li Gangding will face the crusade and impeachment of the imperial censor.

Li Gang had a headache for a while.

……

The atmosphere in the Political Affairs Hall became complicated, dignified and dull.

How to deal with the former Song Emperor Zhao Ji... This is a very difficult problem.

On the surface it seems very simple, since Zhao Ji participated in the conspiracy, Ming Zheng can be punished.

But things are not that simple.

It is easy to kill Zhao Ji, but the negative impact of killing Zhao Ji is too great.

First of all, several of Zhao Ji's daughters are all concubines Wei in the harem, and the relationship between the emperor and Zhao Ji is really complicated.

Secondly, Zhao Ji's participation in the treasonous matter is very secretive. Even if the court makes the case public, it may not convince the people of the world. On the contrary, they will think that it is the emperor who wants to commit crimes. After all, a former Song emperor who was imprisoned in the deep palace Few people will believe that a person who is known to the whole country as weak and incompetent dares to rebel.

Third, although the former Song Dynasty is in the past tense, and the Great Yan Dynasty was at its peak, the former Song Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years after all.Moreover, the emperor had previously announced to the world that he was kind to Zhao Ji, who had abdicated the throne, and he said that, killing him now would be detrimental to the emperor's reputation.

But if Zhao Ji is not killed, it will bring another problem. As long as Zhao Ji is not dead, Zhao Song's shadow will not disappear for a day, and it is difficult to guarantee that similar troubles will happen again in the future.

In particular, the cabinet ministers were not very clear about the emperor's attitude, so they conspired for a long time before Wu Min came forward and said, "Your Majesty, the case of Zhao Ji's rebellion must be approved by the three courts before it can be finalized. Is it too early to deal with Zhao Ji?"

"Jin Yiwei's report will be reported to the cabinet in a few days..." Wang Lin looked around at everyone, and said with a deep expression: "You don't have to hide, how should Zhao Ji deal with it? I want to hear your opinions before handing over this case to the Sanju District Opinion."
